After more than two years of design, development and testing, we are pleased to introduce the Ross™ F1™ - a large arbor series that is destined to revolutionize modern fly reel design. The Ross™ F1™ is a complete departure from conventional thinking and incorporates the most innovative features found in any fly reel.

The drag system utilizes eight independent contact points to produce the smoothest and most dependable drag system on the market today. Two square inches of carbon fiber drag surface results in unsurpassed stopping power and heat dissipation.

The spool fits on a carbon fiber stabilizer with two fully sealed stainless steel ball bearings that provide precision fit and smooth rotation. The Ross™ F1™ employs a Ross original clutch bearing that is fully sealed and enables retrieve conversion without removing the bearing- an industry first! The extensive use of carbon fiber in the drag system, spool stabilizer, handle and spool release produce system strength and rigidity, while at the same time reducing overall weight.

Ten separate o-rings completely seal the system, making it totally impervious to the drag-changing effects of water. The Ross™ F1™ employs a constant-torque drag knob with a 56:1 mechanical advantage; resulting in uniform drag knob rotation and infinite drag adjustment.
